In logistics, the conception of new strategies and the analysis of their effectiveness are as important as the development of new techniques and the design of new systems.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In ancient times the theory of classes of elements and their relations has been part of formal logic, which was founded by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz (1646–1716) and called class logistics.

  2. 2.

    The Lorenz-curve is named after M.O. Lorenz, who in 1905 suggested this curve in order to visualize V. Pareto’s income distribution
